Hungry on liquids

I'm still in the liquid phase of my diet and I am hungry. Is this normal?Should I be hungry? I thought after sugery my pouch would be small and I wouldn't be hungry anymore. I'm hoping when I move onto more solid foods I will fill up quickly. Anyone with info please HELP!!

You might want to post this on the other message board. I thought I would die when I did a liquid diet 2 weeks ago for a colonoscopy until I took the Fleets phosphate lemon lime stuff. Then I could eat nothing at all. Sugarplum Open RNY 3/16

Are you on full liquids or clear liquids? If full liquids, you can do creamy soups and pudding and milk and plain yogurt which are more filling. Joy

Also, try to take in WARM liquids as they tend to help you feel fuller longer. I have heard that the feelings after surgery can go two main ways: Just like you never had it so you're hungry or... You ain't interested in food. For me personally I am hoping I won't want food! Gayle Queen of Yarn Balls

I had the same problem. I was surprised to be hungry. First I hated to hear it but I think my sis-in-law was right. Most of it was in my head. But it didnt go away when I realized that. Chicken boullion has saved me. It is warm and reminds me of soup. I drink the whole 8 oz at one sitting and it fills me right up. Also I am embarrassed to say I have done the chew and spit. I am full so i get the taste in my mouth and i feel better. I admit it is gross but i have to do what i can do to make it. LaDonna -20lbs

Michelle, I do not think this is abnormal. I am hungry at times too. I started out on liquids for only a day and then right away to pureed food and soft foods. Our stomachs are like babies but remember, they get hungry too so it is ok Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler and Bertha 11 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! -25 lbs!!!!
